brood mares so to $50; two-year-old
colt $40. The English draft stallion

him for 5000, when every one admitted
that $500 would not have been an ex-
cessive price for him. This horce book

y party of three, composed of Mr..
Thomas Best, his sister, Miss Mary
Best, and Isaac Earl, from Westmore-
land, England, arrived here last We'd
nesday and spent three days in inspect
ing the resources of the county, gener-
ally, and Its gypsum deposits in partic-
ular. Mr.. Best owns and operates
gypsum mine in the old country, but he
is inclined to transfer his interests to
this country, and his idea now is that
Barber county will suit him. The par
ty is also looking for locations for many
young men who are DESTROYS of locating
in the United States. Miss Best is
taking full notes of her experiences In
the west and will write n series of arti-
cles for publications in her country,
and from conversation with her we
are satisfied that she will make favor
able report.
